    So I was playing dress up tonight in my wedding attire and realize that I dont really think I want to wear my veil.  So far I've bought two.  When I first bought each I thought they were perfect... and then I kept looking and bought another one.  Both COMPLETELY different.  One is an Ivory Fingertip Mantilla that's so gorgeous however tonight when I put it on I was really unsure.  It wasnt like that last time I put it on.  Is that normal? LOL

     The first one I bought was less dramatic.  It's also Ivory but this one is elbow length, kind of puffy with faux pearls and Ivory trim.  I know that the important question here is, "Well, what does the dress look like?"

    It's ivory lace, strapless, french bussled and has a nude undertone (with which I will be wearing my mothers pearls).  Is a veil too much and does it take away from my dress?  What do you think?

    I'd have to see them on, but I think just from looking at the photos, I like the mantilla style veil better with your dress.  I think because your dress is more fitted, I like a slimmer, less puffy veil. 

    Having said that, if you aren't feeling the veil, you definitely don't have to wear one.  I didn't wear one and I'm glad I didn't.  I just felt weird when I had them on and I liked my dress better without a veil. 

    Btw, your dress is beautiful.  Who made it?

    @HouseofJ and @Jessi516:

     

    Thank you both so much.  I got my dress at Brides by Demetrio and it's part of the Ilissa Collection.
